Ques. BROTHER RUSSELLWill
it be the work of the Millennial age
to restore mankind to perfect human
being or will they be raised from the
tomb perfect menjustified to perfect
life by Jesus' ransom?

Ans. It will be the work of the
entire age to bring mankind to perfection
of human being: It is called
"the times (years or age) of restitution"though all may not reach perfection
at the same time, yet all who
do not then sin against lightthe sin
unto death (second death), will be
perfected during that age.

They are justified in the sight of
God (the Father) by the death of Jesus
for their sins, therefore, the Father's
law no longer condemns them to
the tomb and Jesus by purchase has
the control of them and during the
Millennial age will "restore all things;" and when all are brought into harmony
and perfectionat the end of
that agethe Son also delivers up
the kingdom to God even the Father(1 Cor. 15:28.)

Q. When will they who know
their Master's will and do it not be
beaten with many stripes?

A. The beating referred to (Luke 12:47,48)
has reference not to the
world but to Jesus' disciples (servants)
who will be living in the end
or "harvest" of this age.
The "little
flock" will be "accounted worthy
to escape all" while the greater part
of Jesus' servants because not in harmony
with his plan, etc., will go
through the great time of trouble
which closes this age and introduces
the Millennial agesome of these
will pass through a severer ordeal
than others, (many or fewer stripes) as
they had neglected knowing and doing
the Master's will.
But the principle
will apply during the next age also.
